»Du findest erst heraus, wer du bist, wenn niemand dir zusieht ...« Der neue Roman der Bestsellerautorin von »Die Bestimmung«. Noch vor zehn Jahren strahlte Sonya Kantors Gesicht auf Propagandaplakaten in der ganzen Megalopolis. Sie war die Vorzeigefigur der Delegation – des Regimes, das die Menschen auf Schritt und Tritt überwachte. Doch eine Revolution brachte die Delegation zu Fall, und seitdem fristet Sonya – gemeinsam mit jenen, die dem Regime treu ergeben waren – ein trostloses Dasein in Gefangenschaft. Bis ein einstiger Feind sie aufsucht und ihr ein Angebot macht, das auszuschlagen fast unmöglich ist. Was er ihr nämlich bietet, ist ein Freifahrtschein zurück in die Welt. Doch dafür muss Sonya ein Kind finden – und ein dunkles Kapitel ihrer eigenen Familie ergründen ... Verpassen Sie auch nicht den spektakulären Urban-Fantasy-Standalone »Die Erwählten. Tödliche Bestimmung« von Veronica Roth!
WHAT'S RIGHT IS RIGHT.Sonya Kantor knows this slogan--she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation.Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from the Insight's monitoring, went on with their lives.Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for ten years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom. The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past--and her family's dark secrets--than she ever wanted to.With razor sharp prose, Poster Girl is a haunting dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society--an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily.
